Changes Layout - CSI case file #143

I liked the sketch with the banners and the background divided into two blocks. From the evidence I used: mixed media, birds, circles book paper, gears and clouds. From the testimony I was inspired about journaling about something that has been very much on my mind lately. I will share it on the blog in a month or so. The background was coated with gesso and when dry, painted with Iced Spruce and a mix of Evergreen Bough and Peacock Feathers.

The birds were added by smearing Ranger's Texture Paste through a stencil by Dina Wakley. When the paste was dry, I painted it white. I die cut the clouds with a Simon Says Stamp exclusive die and added rub-ons to them.

The texture in the gesso gives a nice effect. Some of the paint was rubbed off from the background before it dried completely, by placing a Dina Wakley stencil on the background and rubbing with a moist cloth.

'Smile' is a very useful word to have as a die, this one is from a Sizzix set by KI Memories.

The little man was die cut with a new KI Memories die by Sizzix, and the balloons with a die set by Stephanie Barnard.

The banners were die cut with the an Echo Park Sizzix set, as well as the word die cut from this banner. I die cut the banners from a leftover piece of inky glossy cardstock.

I also used a word stencil by Dina Wakley, together with the Texture Paste.

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I have been doing arts and crafts my whole life, but papercrafting is the one that has totally captured my heart and mind. I started making cards in 2002 and to scrapbook two years later. I enjoy switching between the differently sized space of a card and a layout. My stamps and dies are my absolute favorite tools and I love creating something out of only white paper, stamps and ink, and to try out different techniques.
